Harnessing the beauty of balance and the boldness of tradition is the philosophy that guided every step in creating our newest LALO High Proof Tequila Blanco. This 2025 release isn’t just a stronger spirit—it’s the truest expression of high proof tequila, crafted with intention and uncompromising care by maestro tequilero Lalo González.

Why We Crafted a New Take on High Proof Tequila

When we first introduced LALO High Proof, the response was overwhelming. It wasn’t just about a higher alcohol content—it was about purity, bold flavor, and a deeper connection to the agave plant at the heart of authentic tequila production. Our first batch of high proof tequila blanco sold out online in just one week and was quickly recognized by outlets like VinePair as one of the best tequilas of 2025.

The new 2025 LALO High Proof Tequila Blanco was born from that same spirit of curiosity—a chance to experiment, refine, and evolve. We set out to build on what came before, but also to offer a new kind of experience: a high proof tequila blanco that stays true to our roots while elevating what tequila can be.

Distilled to Proof: A Toast to Pure High Proof Tequila

At the heart of this release is the principle of distilled to proof. For LALO, this means what comes out of the still goes directly into the bottle—no water added, no dilution. This method, rarely used in modern tequila production, demands patience and precision, but the reward is unmatched clarity of flavor and a texture unique to high proof tequila.

Every sip of LALO High Proof Tequila Blanco 2025 tells the story of the agave: bold, vegetal, complex, and unfiltered in character. With its 50% ABV, this tequila offers a pure and powerful agave experience that aficionados and newcomers alike can appreciate.

The Flavor Journey of LALO High Proof Tequila Blanco

LALO High Proof invites you into the full depth of the agave plant, revealing each layer from nose to finish.

Nose: Intense roasted agave, green vegetal notes, spicy jalapeño, subtle minerality, mint, and white pepper.

Palate: Full-bodied and silky, with rich cooked agave leading the way. Earthy undertones, olive brine, and fresh herbal complexity shine through. The higher proof brings extra depth and structure without harsh heat.

Finish: Long, clean, and vibrant. Agave sweetness, peppery spice, and a touch of salinity linger.

A Shift in Proof, A New Experience in High Proof Tequila

For this second iteration, we dialed the ABV down slightly—settling at 50% after testing multiple variations. Why 50%? It delivers the perfect harmony of boldness and approachability. The flavor remains intense and expressive, but the mouthfeel is even more inviting. This is a high proof tequila blanco crafted not just for collectors or aficionados, but for anyone looking to experience tequila at its most vibrant and pure.

At the heart of this 2025 release is the discerning palate of co-founder and our Master Distiller, Lalo González, who hand-selected this batch for its bolder profile and uncompromising flavor. While the ABV is higher than our signature tequila blanco, the balance remains—resulting in a spirit that’s both powerful and precise.

Crafted for Every Palate
